The winner’s comment

At first, this “Simple Three Cs Detection System” has been developed to help preventing the spreading of COVID-19 and to help our lab’s members working smoothly during the pandemic. Then, we realized that the system can be applicable to our normal life and can help us to effectively live our life without fear and worry about an outbreaking of the COVID-19. I myself have been interested in start-up and doing business, getting supports from Associate Prof. Takeshi Yoshimura. To make our idea more practical and take part in developing our social life from now on. We began to develop our business idea and decided to join this competition. I believe that the achievement in this competition can accelerate our works and we will do our best to demonstrate the system to the New Normal life as soon as possible.
